I usually like to soak my lenses in my regular contact lens solution for at least 48 hours. The solution in the vials are usually formulated for storage so it may be harmful for your eyes. After 48 hrs, I try to wear it 1-2 hrs at home just in case I encounter problems. This is especially important if you drive. (just an example)

I believe it used to be $5 but once again, this probably changed because last time I checked was in June 2010.

Review on Lens:

I've been very impressed with previous EOS Circle Lenses and these certainly did not let me down. I was able to wear them for up to 12 hours and only slowly started to have dry eyes after that. I usually wear for lenses for short periods (3-6 hours) but I had a really long day and forgot to bring my contact case. On days when I wore then for 7 hours (two lectures at school + transportation), my eyes were never dried and never had red veins appearing. I also never had a problem with them sliding around or blurring my vision. They are extremely comfortable, I love wearing them especially when I'm lacking sleep because I know these won't give me any problems during the day.

The color pay out doesn't make a whole lot of difference for me since I have natural dark brown eyes. They look extremely natural in indoor light setting as if I'm not wearing circle lenses. However, with flash photography, you can easily see that my eyes look lighter and close to an orangey-brown. The design of the lens is starwheel with a smooth gradation starting from a inner light honey brown to the outer brown-black. The outer ring does not have harsh black borders making the lenses very natural looking yet giving off a dolly effect. If you have lighter eyes, these lenses will make a difference as the colour give-off is very opaque.

The enlargement factor is significant. When comparing my eyes with and without lens, I see that there are less whites with these circle lenses. Although there are lenses with a larger diameter, I find that this size is perfect. They are large enough to create the dolly look yet not too overly large to appear alien-like. If you are looking for lenses which are not dramatic these are for you.

These are definitely my favorite pair of brown circle lenses. I love how natural they look and they are super comfortable. I noticed that I tend to grab these to wear over any of my other lenses. And since I'm a lazy person, I don't need to put much make up to pull these off :)
